I noticed that the Python library fails to communicate with the PSLab v6 board on Microsoft Windows 10 systems (I have not tested Windows 11 yet) if no driver is installed. The reason is that without the driver there is no COM port for the board.

The necessary driver can be found at: https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers

I think this should be documented in the README.md.

I also tested with Windows 11: Same behavior.
